It was surprising
Pros:

It has an ideal location with cool sharing privileges next-door

Cons:

It’s a little the Lapid and is a large property for so little there. The ruins, however, are well maintained uncomfortable.

Pros:

60's style motel directly on the beach. Very basic, and scrupulously clean, both rooms and pool, with a good bed. The courtyard has a gate opening on the beach. Our host, Bret, is warm and welcoming.

It has no services, but it's only a short block from the main street and adjacent to an excellent reasonably-priced restaurant.

We planned to stay for one night but ended up staying three. We will be back.

Pros:

Owner was friendly. Place was clean. Pool nice. Property a bit run down. I booked by the advertisment of a restaurant on premises. Think: convenient am coffee. There was a good eatery close to the hotel for pm eats. Ok facilities for an overnight stay. Jaco itself is very seedy. Casinos, prostitution, etc. It is what it is. Will avoid this area in the future. All things said, had a good night's sleep, a/c, pool, hot water and a great dinner at Koko's.

Pros:

Very comfortable bed. In the heart of Jaco, in a wild part of town. Not for a quiet stay. Perfect for enjoying the wild side of Jaco!

Cons:

I made a reservation but when I arrived the owner told that he didn’t have space for me so I had to search for another place even though I had made a reservation like 4 days before

I loved everything about this place - from location, friendly and helpful owner and comfy and spacious room and washroom
Pros:

Bed was comfy and situated just at the beach which made it perfect and easier to go to and from the beach using the hotel’s private entrance. Owner of the hotel was super nice and friendly who suggested places I could go, food options and other things one can do. I love every bit of my stay and wished I could stay longer

Good value, small, but comfortable rooms. Pool.
Pros:

At the beach. Nice clean rooms. Safe available in room. Walk-in shower. Good host. Adjacent to famous Cocal Hotel… that’s good depending on your interests. It does mean there’s a lot of evening activity nearby.

Cons:

No fridge.
